Are Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and 360 being lined up for a new Oz hip hop festival?

Rumours that a new hip hop touring festival will hit Australia next February have been reignited with the appearance of a flyer in Brisbane that appears to suggest that US rappers Eminem and Kendrick Lamar will be headlining a tour dubbed 'Rapture'.

Rumors of such a tour began months ago, when there was talk that AJ Maddah, the man who brought us the Harvest Festival, the Soundwave Festival, Warped Tour and the Big Day Out would be masterminding the festival, something he dismissed at the time via his Twitter account. Now however, the festival poster discovered and posted online by the blog site Project U seems to suggest otherwise.

If the poster is to be believed, Em and Kendrick will be joined by Australian hip hop artist 360, as well as other US rappers including Chance the Rapper, Action Bronson and J. Cole.

No comments from the promoters yet, but watch this space for more news.
